Precast Concrete Box Culvert Install Time Lapse | Crane Time Lapse

[@Quadflash]

Love time lapse, particularly with perfect music! But, time lapse glosses over the hours of careful planning and prep that goes into making lifts like yours look smooth and easy. Strong work, Jimmy.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you for the compliment! I still have the footage. I will probably edit a full length video of this job in the near future. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@dallasbishop6519]

These are the videos I like the most. I work for a precast place as a driver/crane op. I enjoy the technical videos a lot, but these ones keep me watching.

[@MrTodd51]

Cool video. I have no idea how so much of what you do was ever done and it is so enjoyable and educational to watch your videos.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you for the compliment! There will probably be a full length video of this project in the near future. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@mxp2000]

Great Video! I really enjoy the 2X speed It moves thing along. Setup narration for the beginning, Important parts in the middle and the end work perfect. Thank You!

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you! I probably won't do this kind of video too often. I have a blind subscriber who likes to listen to the videos. If I did this with every video, he'd be missing out. Many thanks for watching and for the feedback. 🙂

[@brianangel8201]

Very good video, with the turbo charge on, I got a kick out of the flatbeds when the weight was taken off as if to say whoo

[@ToTheTopCrane]

The first truck that left was getting after it on the regular speed footage. I think it left the site in 6th gear and was winning the race. Lol. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@andyb9767]

Thanks for the video Jimmy. Have a great day my friend.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great rest of the weekend. 🙂

[@johnclifton3910]

Just another quality video thanks for sharing

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you! As always, thanks for watching! 🙂

[@barryhansen6854]

Nice one Jimmy better than watching for a hour, that reminded me of Ron in the Rotator.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you! I'll probably use the footage and make a full length video too. So, this could be the preview. Lol. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@longcaster]

Nicely done, great music selection too.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you! Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@kellyporetta242]

Thanks for sharing the video!! Those are some good looking Box Culverts made by Pretech Corporation.

[@63256325N]

Thanks for the video.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@kengamble8595]

Hey that was pretty cool ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you! Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@jerrystott7780]

Interesting, I've never seen that style, you get a culvert and a bridge in one. Have a good one.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Box culverts are gaining popularity. They are quick and strong. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@als8518]

@@ToTheTopCrane expensive though. prefab bridge would have been alot cheaper in my experience.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

@@als8518 I'm not sure of the cost differences. All I do is move heavy things. Lol. I have a precast bridge job coming up soon. So, there will be some footage of that. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@BigRock804]

Hi: That was Cool. I liked the way you did the moves.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you! Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@davidmiddleton9191]

I just signed the out of work list they are short handed in our area

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Short handed here too.

[@boatshaper]

I'm guessing that the projecting rebar means there will be some additional concrete work to provide flares at the ends of the culvert. Also found it curious that they only added sealant at the top of the joint. Still, job well done overall.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

It does indeed. There will be poured in place wing walls. While I was swung around to get the next piece, they put sealant on the mating surface of the piece in the ditch. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@boatshaper]

@@ToTheTopCraneNow it makes sense; more going on than was visible.

[@joshwelner1951]

Nice work 👍💪

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thank you! As always, thanks for watching! 🙂

[@richardsavaglio661]

Looked like a few of those were 15,000lbs or so. Nice job!

[@ToTheTopCrane]

The lightest one was 19k and the heaviest were 36k. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@richardsavaglio661]

To The Top Crane Jesus Jimmy the size is deceiving from my phone!!!

[@briangardiner1015]

It is interesting how there was a slab there. Do you know how think the slab was? and how they attached the culvert to the slab?

[@als8518]

that looked like a slab, could have been compacted stone dust or something though.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Is was a slab put in place by the contractor. It is much easier to assemble the pieces on a flat surface. I'm not sure of the thickness. I'm also not sure how the pieces are anchored, if at all. I do know there will be poured in place wing walls on each end of the culvert. I may run by the jobsite this week and record some after footage. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@ConstructionKronies]

Haha love the music! Nice Jimmy!! 💪🔥💯👍👊

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thanks! As always, thanks for watching! 🙂

[@lwilton]

That looked a lot easier with a big crane than that thing a few month's ago where Ron got called out to help in the rain at the last minute. :-)

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Having a bigger crane definitely helps. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

They couldn't use a big crane there because the power lines were over the location.

[@kgraydakota]

Great video, I like the speeded up format. How did they redirect the water from the stream bed, Pumps?

[@ToTheTopCrane]

They did use pumps when they poured the footing. When we were setting the pieces on the footing, the water was just running through on top of the footing. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@VideosByAl]

Nifty.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@wcmboss]

How do you keep gravel out of the joint at the bottom?

[@OzMacro]

Was it an optical illusion or were the first two trapezoidal?

[@waltermattson5566]

It would have been fun to hear a few details. They looked pretty heavy. Nice video. Did your daughter have a nice birthday? I can’t remember her name at the moment.

[@davidrigoni8231]

Love the music :-) was just listening to Wagner Return of the Valkryes ( yea spelling ) while walking g the dog tonight

[@ToTheTopCrane]

I chose that song for two reasons. One...the length of the song fit well. Two...it has a pretty good tempo for fast footage. It's a pretty recognizable tune as well. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@psidvicious]

Cool!! 🤜🤛

[@davidmiddleton9191]

We had high winds

[@ToTheTopCrane]

It was a little breezy. 18-20 mph wind.

[@waynetharp]

Did you let them know it was ok to pour the next one,in one big piece? That you could handle it! 😁 Cool video,Jimmy! Thanks!

[@ToTheTopCrane]

There is a lot of concrete there. I'm not certain the ole Tadano would handle it in one piece. Lol. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@waynetharp]

@@ToTheTopCrane They won't need the whole crew next time. They can sit on the back and eat lunch for counterweight! I have faith in the Ole Girl. She can handle it!🙃

[@Weldpro2011]

It’s hard to tell in the video but I’m going to guess these castings came from pretech? Kc proud!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@ToTheTopCrane]

They did indeed come from Pretech. The link to the Pretech website is in the video description. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@davidmiddleton9191]

Yes high winds , as for the comment its just my opinion being an operating engineer and a former contractor thats what i would have done

[@ToTheTopCrane]

I am IUOE Local 101. 🙂👍

[@g4outdoors]

Finally I don’t have to FF the videos LOL.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

You don't have to FF any of them. Lol. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Looking for a bit of help i reside in Spokane going back to work at iuoe 320 have to get my cdl back had it for 35 yrs need a Idaho address because Washington wants me or anyone who doesn't reinstate there lic within 1 yr of surrendering said license to go back to truck driver school. Please anyone you know in idaho message me

[@ToTheTopCrane]

You might reach out to J-paydirt on KZbin. I know he lives in Idaho.

[@davidmiddleton9191]

My local was 370 now i believe its 302, 370 merged with the Seattle and Alaska locals the init

[@davidmiddleton9191]

Thumb hit the wrong thing those two unions from Seattle and Alaska merged with 370 and now the Initiation fee went from like 350 360 bucks to 930 dollars is what it is right

[@davidmiddleton9191]

I apologize i am passionate about job site safety as operator and former contractor i was injured in a jobsite accident. Cost me several yrs of rehabilitation just to get back to good physical condition to work

[@ToTheTopCrane]

No apology necessary, my friend. Passion is good. It means you care. I am the same way. Glad you were able to recover from your accident and get back to work.

[@davidmiddleton9191]

Yea i saw his vid i am a sub

[@ToTheTopCrane]

If you could, try to keep comments on the same comment thread. As in... if you comment, then someone else comments, go back and comment on their comment. If you comment multiple times on just the video comment thread, it randomly throws your comments in the video comments section. I love the interaction. It just makes it all easier to follow if you keep the comment threads together. 🙂

[@BrysonSmith82]

You see the crane collapse in Seattle. Looks pretty bad.

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Just heard about it in the comments on here. I'll check into it. Many thanks for watching! 🙂

[@davidmiddleton9191]

Tower crane in Seattle collapsed 4 dead

[@ToTheTopCrane]

That's terrible. Prayers to all of those affected. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@davidmiddleton9191]

All the safety training union hands go thru and this crap happens it is uncalled for i was injured in a crane accident in 06 it caused me to be disabled but only thru Christ can i get back to work in the union just this year thus my anger in this unfortunate accident

[@davidmiddleton9191]

The superintendent should have ceased all hoisting the storm was announced on media senseless deaths

[@ToTheTopCrane]

On the tower crane job?

[@davidmiddleton9191]

They showed a vid of the tower crane falling during disassembling horrific just a terrible thing to see again they should not have been up there be safe God bless

[@als8518]

ave has his initial analysis up... looks like the pins were all pulled ahead of disassembly rather then as each section was lifted... twas just held together by gravity...

[@ToTheTopCrane]

@@als8518 I left a few comments on his video.

[@davidmiddleton9191]

More like 35 to 40 mph winds

[@ToTheTopCrane]

You must be referring to the tower crane accident?

[@davidmiddleton9191]

I am so pissed it should have never happened heads are gonna roll

[@davidmiddleton9191]

Too pissed to evaluate the video but yea he is correct 😥 a fellow marine and another union brother plus two civilians passed

[@maxvonraben8112]

The video maker is probably a Wagner fan! 👂😃👏✌✌

So sorry not savvy about threads and all you wont see me here again

I don't want you to leave. I enjoy everyone commenting. Keeping threads together just makes it easy to follow the conversation. I wasn't upset or trying to make you upset.
